FIFA scene back in 2010, 11, 12 and 13 will likely never be replicated. Back to back tourneys hosted for all the regulars and newbs -  be it 1v1, 2v2, restricted formats(lower rated teams) or Football clubs. Every iteration of FIFA was like a season of football. A full fledged league, KO tournaments, end of the year awards. Everyone spent almost all nights playing till 1/2am.

 

@boltonfan - Omar's one touch passing. One of the first  names that comes to my mind when I think of FIFA on IVG. Played with heart, saw him stop dribbling the ball when my controller ran out of battery. 

@Stevie G - monkaS hard pressing specialist - Won three back to back player of the year awards. Congrats on winning the PL. I will never say this to any other pool fan.

@MadridistaLove - Mrinal's super aggressive Real Madrid matches.

@rad2689 - United fanboy - somehow made Rooney score headers

@Cash - Seeing the kid grow from learning how to makes a pass to dominate matches - so young: everyone called him Baby Glad(xXGladiatorXx PSN ID )

@dharmin - Every single match against Dharmin was a close one and had to sweat hard.

@VelivolusDas - Played with Barca - easy on the eye football, was so fun to watch him team play even when playing against him.

@hope - came late to the scene. Was fun triggering him in Chelsea vs Arsenal matches. Drogba scored header after header as hope had no idea how to clear headers. 

@TheDribbler - IVG Santa himself hosting tourney after tourney. Being a part of the FIFA tournament organizer team with Dan and Azaan was a fun experience.

@Rahul(laughordie PSN) - Was a regular and had great memories with everyone. He passed away because of an accident and it affected many FIFA regulars including me who were good friends with him. RIP bud.

 

We came across

Those were crazy times man. Missing it badly.

 

Not so kid anymore though, Father of a daughter. :hahaha:

Hey Guys,

 

How about sharing your most notalgic moment of IVG/GI/360i days.

 

Mine would inadverently be fighting with all admins/mods to get the PC Section on the forums. I still remember how opposed they were to the idea and wanted to keep this as a console only forum

 

Many more to follow..So shoot away with yours!!

 

Maybe this will bring back some of the old timers and shoutbox needs to return.

 

Regards

Aman

 

 

SHOUTBOX FTW...i still have screenshots of some of the epic shoutbox replies, lel

Pushy and juice corner.

 

One night is all it took. 

 

Edit: I remember winning the Killzone lucky draw, and got a f**kton of goodies. I was very new then, and the old timers lost their sh*t. Stuff couldn't be couriered to my home town then, and @Tinbin007 got them to me personally. 

 

Fun times.

One of my best memories. No one in India still does preorders like we did. And even today very few retailers get the preorder numbers we did for some games. We crossed 100 with Uncharted 2. 

tr00 tr00...KILLZONE 2 launch event? man, we had an entire theater to ourselves...i'll have to dig up deep to get that pic, don't even know if its still there or not.

So many memories with KZ2.

 

1. You reject me for FF101/ MT rejects me for GIKZ 

2. I form DKK with @Rashmeet as the first member. 

3. I preorder Steelbook on IVG

4. You say there would be 1 day delay for Steelbook orders

5. I make a f**king thread on TP for my Steelbook IVG order which is yet to arrive 

6. I manage to piss you off then had to apologize to save face 

7. We play KZ2 religiously for like 18 months to 2yrs (Daily 4-6hrs) There was even a pakistani gaming forum invasion in between. Ultimately  many ppl stopped playing so all clans merged under IVG United and went on to play epic clan matches against international clans. All under Dan's leadership 

 

KZ2 was teh sh*t...that game, them memories...oh boy!

 

have met few members too, Zeeshan, Ruzhan, Tanveer, Mohit, Sam, Rishi, CC, DaN, TheChairMan(thedribbler?), Polash...i have missed out some too...we had a meet once to watch football and had drinks (Mohit's potato juice), then once during KillZone2 launch event, there was a LG Event at mall where wherein they had a GeOW tourney, there was a GT5 tourney, where i had met one IVG'ian (Zinklo tourney, which i had won BTW), The inaugral PlayStation Experience, had went to Sam's place to collect the KillZone 2 steelbook (he had CM690 cabinet, the view from his window....man droolworthy stuff), had went to Hyderabad for a Job, met few IVG members there too (trip was good, had to exit "That JOB", and that was a very good call from my side, the overall experience was good, but the parting words by someone over there, left a bitter taste - If you remember what you had told me when i was leaving, CHECK MATE Fella, look where I am now, I wish I could come back to HYBD and shove those words down your throat buddy), then, met Bikram (the talli look guy), had a good a*s friendship with babloos and kunalkw( i still remember this from one of his chats - when in doubt, whip it out)....and i am sure i am missing a lot of memories connected to this forums (and yes, this is the only forum that i've been connected to, till to date, since the day i had joined)

 

also....hello moi boiz

Good old UC2 Days..!!!! Nothing can beat the fun we had in UC2 MP... What are you playing these days ?? Also why don't you reply on Whatsapp Group

We came across some pakistani FIFA players and had a India vs Pakistan tournament - which we won  Most IVG regulars took things  to heart when they lost to the players from Pakistan. Some(Sanwal, Sarwan, Aurry) of the pakistani folks even joined IVG and were active for few years. FIFA tournaments had a whole sub-forum dedicated. Spammed the sh*t outta tournament threads.

 

I really wish we had the capture options we have on consoles now back when we were playing on PS3. Here are some pics from the tournaments that are 10 years old! 

 

The season had over 143 1v1 games.

 

My favorite match from the FIFA era on IVG - A 4-5 loss to @Stevie G. Azaan was on a 18-0 streak at that time in the tournament. I got the chance to end it but he scored twice in final few minutes to keep the streak alive(crazy end game stats in a mirror match). In the end he was undefeated in the tourney 27-0 iirc. This happened around the same time when the Undertaker vs HBK Wrestlemania match(streak vs career) happened - was really hyped before the match. 

 

 

Man those fifa days were awesome. Some epic matches.

 

Omars bolton, Great football he played. Azaans patient game with pool (i called him negative once, big fiasco  ),dharmin,you kaju,roshan,polash etc. Amazing days. 

 

The win against pakistan. That was a laggy afair. Won 2-0 there,nervy that.

 

Whatta time that was
